Grindstone Tattoo Company

Triston’s my guy! Walked into Hornet’s Nest with one piece and now have had multiple additions all done by him over the past few months. I will continue going to him for the foreseeable future. He’s great and definitely recommend.

Tristan is a fantastic artist. I’ve had multiple tattoos done by him. We are in the middle of a half sleeve and a large thigh tattoo and I’m excited to see the finish result. He pays attention to detail and really cares about his art as well as his clients. He was very knowledgeable about tattoo aftercare as well. My tattoos heal nicely.

Years ago, went in for a verse on my bicep, Billy Noel, believe he was the owner, misspelled giants on my arm. Then tried to take a neutral color and fix it, jacked my arm up. Told me to come back in and he’d give me a $700 tattoo of whatever I wanted. Then proceeded to not listen to any of my ideas. I came back in, he printed his own thing out, proceeded to put the worst tattoo of about $150 on my arm to cover it up. Basically ruining my arm. Said he would touch it up and make it look good when it healed, never got back with me. I was young and should’ve pressed the situation more and what not, but he screwed me

I got my belly pierced for my birthday. Makes me regret my piercing the lady that did it told me because I was a bigger girl. I was gonna need a floating naval so she put the big ball on top and the little ball at the bottom within a couple days my piercing got infected. It literally swallowed the big ball so I had this huge hole by my belly button and I cleaned it as they recommended. It got so bad to the point where I went back and asked them to give me a longer bar because The bar was so small I didn’t have room to swell. The lady called the piercer cause she wasn’t there and she told her the ring is inside my belly. She said She would be gone for a week and I would have to come back or they can recommend me to another shop which at that point I took the recommendation cause my piercing wouldn’t have lasted another week. They told me that it would be five to $10 just to get a longer bar! I went to the other shop thankfully they cleaned it. They told me that the piercing wasn’t placed properly and it was indeed not a floating naval so they put a flat disc on. Cost me an extra $65 but thankfully my piercing is much better. Even though my piercing is absolutely crooked it feels way better But if I could give the shop a zero, I would

I went into the Hornets Nest a couple of weeks back for a couple of piercings with, JD! It was a comfortable and painless experience! He is professional and knows what he’s doing. I will go back for any piercings in the future. Today, I had my tattoo touched up by Dale! Dale is a fantastic artist. He also made my 4 hours comfortable and painless. Great chat and good people. Highly recommend!!
